El hecho invita a una pregunta que probablemente nunca podremos responder: ¿fue una pausa para meditar con mayor sosiego?

JAMES, The Dilemma of Determinism, en The Will to Believe and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy (The Works of William James, 6: Harvard University Press, Cambridge [Mass.], 1979) p. 117: "Nowadays, we have a soft determinism which abhors harsh words, and, repudiating fatality, necessity, and even predetermination, says that its real name is freedom; for freedom is only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom. [...] Now, all this is a quagmire of evasion under which the real issue of fact has been entirely smothered"

  • Por ello, no me parece rigurosa la tesis de que "each of us, when we act, is a prime mover unmoved.

ADAMS, Must God Create the Best?, "Philosophical Review" 81/3 (1972) p. 324: "the gracious person sees what is valuable in the person he loves, and does not worry about whether it is more or less valuable than what could be found in someone else he might have loved. [...] God's graciousness in creating does not imply that the creatures He has chosen to create must be less excellent than the best possible. It implies, rather, that even if they are the best possible creatures, that is not the ground for His choosing them. And it implies that there is nothing in God's nature or character which would require Him to act on the principle of choosing the best possible creatures to be the object of His creative powers"
